Chris, This is really all my fault. I just needed my "." (root) patch fix that Mike applied to 0.19 (but is not in 0.12) at CPAN so the systems guys here could trust it enough to install it on our machines. I did the upload straight off fuhr.org over a month ago:

No wonder I've been getting spammed with all these Net::DNS issues from people. I have not had much involvement with Net::DNS, so you don't need to worry about stepping on my toes. I would appreciate at least anonymous CVS access to your Net-DNS repository so I may submit more accurate patches to the latest developmental source tree, but it isn't crucial. To "resolve" the matter, just upload your 0.20 tarball to CPAN so it will bounce back to you. But please do so soon. Though it is usually a bit more work, I think it is best to release often and have lots of versions as opposed to changing very many things and releasing less frequently. It makes for easier bug pinpointing for the users to report to the developer, provides fewer code changes per version change, allows users to test against more current code base, and reduces multiple reports of identical bugs.
